Just one thing I’d like to add and that is that there is a tuning option to 
optimize the Play 5 to a particular room. Sonos calls this “TruePlay” but if 
you want to do this you will need sighted help, it is not accessible if 
Voiceover is running.

 

Also, FYI, while the new Play 5 has no longer a headphone jack, it is supposed 
to sound much better than the older ones.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Hi,

Yes and yes. Set up is a breeze and poses no problems for blind or visually 
impaired users no matter which model you get in my experience. Once your 
library is indexed by the sonos system then you could play anything you might 
have in terms of sound files from your computer.

the only difference between first and 2nd generation play:5 for instance is the 
location of the button you press to initiate its detection by the system.  In 
first gen it’s on top of the unit whereas in the newer 2nd generation it’s on 
the back of the unit.  It’s nearly flush with the back of the unit but still 
detectable by touch once you know to look for it.  I don’t think you’d have any 
trouble should you choose to try one; and the Play:5 still has the auxiliary 
input jack as well.  I just thought I’d mention that.

 

I hope that helps.

Robin

Other than that, is the new one as easy to set up and use as the previous 
model? Also is it easy to stream from your computer over wifi?

Thanks, Marie

Hi,

It is true that it hasn’t a headphone jack in the 2nd generation which to me 
wasn’t a huge loss as it was formerly located on the back of the unit making it 
difficult to access anyway.

I hope that helps.

I was just reading the reviews of the Sonos Play 5 and there were complaints 
that there was no output jack on this speaker? I was under the impressions that 
it did have a headphone jack but wonder if it was removed in the newer model. 
This is a real turn off for me. I guess I should have bought one earlier.
